On Sunday, February 15, 2026, at 5:00 PM, the sounds of old school gospel will rise in testimony, protest, and praise at the Old School Gospel Concert 2026, themed “Black Power, Resistance, Calling.” The concert will take place at Metropolitan Community Church of Greater St. Louis (MCCGSL), located at 7423 Michigan Ave, St. Louis, MO.

MCCGSL is honored to host this event as a sister church to St. John’s Church and a long-standing partner organization to AhSa-Ti Nu. United by shared commitments to radical inclusion, liberation theology, and community care, MCCGSL looks forward to opening its doors to support this night of gospel, resistance, and collective calling.

This powerful evening of gospel music is a fundraiser benefiting St. John’s UCC Beloved Communities, a Black-led, radically inclusive faith community rooted in North St. Louis. Drawing on the tradition of gospel as both sacred song and freedom cry, the concert centers Black spiritual resistance in a time of profound social, political, and economic upheaval.

Proceeds from the event will directly support the ongoing ministries of St. John’s Church, including the maintenance of North St. Louis’ only vocally abolitionist, Black Queer Feminist faith space, and the expansion of community care programs serving Black queer and trans youth.

The Old School Gospel Concert 2026 invites the wider St. Louis community to gather in song, solidarity, and shared responsibility, affirming that gospel music remains a living force for liberation, healing, and resistance
